IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> No matter what Valorie says, I still think Rik is awesome. :)02:45
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> You what? Valorie....?02:45
valorieoh you brat, DarinMil-!02:45
valorielol02:45
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> LOL02:45
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> :)02:46
valoriethat is awesome, RikMills02:46
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Just trying to liven things up a little.02:46
valorielol02:46
valorielife here in the US is quite "exciting" enough!02:47
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> <heavy sigh> yes.....02:47
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> I am anxious to test the new KWin against the latest NVidia drivers. kwin + NVidia + wine do not play well together in 20.10...  https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/50702:54
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> 5.21 beta tars are due Thursday. Hopefully it can go into 21.04 quite quickly (which is why I did that preparation with git snapshots)02:56
valorieoh cool, I can upgrade my travel lappy02:57
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Ok, very late here so good night. Must not snooze through watching Trump get evicted02:59
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> 21.04 running very  smooth  on one of my boot partitions.  qq: when I log out of 21.04, I am greeted by a blue screen, tile bar at top with no options to change between xorg and wayland.  What is the strange blue login screen. I have seen it before during other beta releases, but it always disappears by final release.03:02
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> @RikMills, LOL03:02
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Correction on my previous statement: wayland is available in the top bar dropdown (I had forgot to install it).03:10
valorieI can test wayland on my travel lappy03:14
valorieno travel in my immediate future!03:15
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> But I am still curious why the SDDM(?) screen is blue and the option panel is at the top.03:16
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> @DarinMiller, Screeenshot?16:29
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Or photo....16:30
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> (Photo, 1280x960) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/goIhidzF/file_40828.jpg16:31
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> That looks like the default sddm theme. i.e. instead of the breeze one16:32
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Doesn't happen in my 21.04 VM16:34
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Strange, on my 21.04 system I am unable to install or change the SDDM theme.  I tried changing Plasma Styles and global themes to see if they changed the SDDM screen, but so far have not been able to pin it down.16:54
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> I will have to come back to this in a little bit as work issues are demanding my attention...16:56
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> OK, I had time over lunch to investigate.  sddm-theme-breeze was not installed.  Now that the theme is installed, other themes can be installed using the Get New Login Screens button.  Before, I could install new login screens, but they failed to show up on the list.  Very strange bug.  Still need to report.19:42
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> ```reverse-depends sddm-theme-breeze … Reverse-Depends … * kubuntu-desktop [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el] … * ubuntustudio-default-settings … * ubuntustudio-desktop [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x]````19:56
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> So you shouldn't have been able to have kubuntu-desktop installed if sddm-theme-breeze was not19:57
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> During install, I think I specified the auto login. But otherwise, I cannot think of anything else that may have lead to that condition.  Do you want me to check anything else?  Everything seems to be working fine however, it's not my daily driver so I do not "stress" it that much...19:59
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> I can't think of anything else to check at the moment 🤔20:00
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> After further thought, I think I upgraded that partition from a 20.10 session very early on in the 21.04 cycle, so it's probably a timing "fluke".20:05
